Senator Warren complied by sending the Journal a copy of a letter on the desired subject which he had written Hon. Henry Perrett, and which exactly expressed the senator’s views. +The letter follows: I'am a laboring man myself, always haye been, and always expect to be. From earliest childhood I was a common laborer for my father on his farm, a hired man for various neighbors, an employe in saw mills, a section hand on the railroad, a stone mason, and engaged in various ‘other forms of common labor until 1862; at the age ef seventeen I enlisted in the Union Army as a private in a Massachusetts infantry regiment. After iny discharge, at the end of the war, I went back to my favorite occupation of farming, and have pursued that industry to a greater or lesser degree ever since. “Have I been a laboring man during the past thirty years or more? I have, and my labors have been always in the in- terest of Wyoming and.all of her people, to the best of my ability. The people of this state have given me their conii- dence and support,.and in my humble way I have attempted in every particular to be true to their trust. “I need not recite the long list of enterprises in which I have engaged *to develop Wyoming during the -past fifty-six years since,I located here. These activities would include the bringing in of railroads, the opening of mines, the location and building of railroad shops, the erection of greater public build- ings, military posts, and others—yes, thousands—of bigger and smaller things. “During this time I have had constantly in my employment neyer less than dne hundred men and women, and during much of the time more than tWo hundred, without ever a strike, and without labor troubles. E.love and respect the men and women who labor with their hands and with their heads. I am one of them: They are my friends and I am theirs. In my early life work labor unions were unknown. Had labor unions existed at that time I undoubtedly would have joined. As is the usual custom in industries such as those in which I engage, farming and livestock raising, my employes are not‘ usually unionized, so far as I know. On the other hand, no man was ever denied employment or discharged by me because he was a union man, “Practically all of the building and improvement work in Wyoming with which I have been connected has been in the hands of union labor, with most -harmonious gssociations. “It is needless to say that I fully recogniaé and appreciate the right of working. men and women to unite for the protec- tion of their interests. No man could find fault with the lofty principles upon, which our labor unions are founded; on the other hand, there is eyery reason to cherish and foster these worthy purposes. “Innumerable requests in the interest of labor come to me in Washington from labor unions and individual laboring men. I haye taken"great pleasure in receiving these appeals for assis- tance, and have complied with them to the best of my ability “I do not pretend or presyme to say that all of my official acts during my years in the U” ‘2d States senate have met with the approval of all laboring “ Were you or any other la- boring man acting in my position, under similar circumstances, it would be equally impossible for you to please all of the people. Bearing this in mind it has been my policy at all times to govern my official acts in labor matters by what I consider to be the greatest good for the greatest number. “Everything we have in this world comes from the soil, water, or the air, and all of us are dependent upon labor to convert these great gifts of nature into articles which are useful for our necessities, comfort and prosperity. Thus the laborer becomes the most important individual of our citizenship, and we must honor him accordingly. “A man cannot devote his life and his efforts in the devel- opment of our great state of Wyoming without dependency upon friendly and harmonious association with labor. The laborer is worthy of his hire, whether he earns his bread by the sweat of his brow or by the product of his head. an&-hands combined. “I thank you for this opportunity of addressing you upon this subject, and T hope that in a measure I have answered your inquiry.” 2, BE, WABREN First Game.
